Old Tales of the Chapparal

June 1, 2026

Most people look at the high desert and the rugged canyons north of Los Angeles and see only Joshua trees, ranches, and sprawling suburbs. But when the sun drops below the horizon, the shadows stretching across the Antelope and Santa Clarita Valleys deepen, and their storied histories manifest as the unnatural. Behind our modern towns lie echoes of the past; moments where the line between what was and what is becomes haunting.

Be ready to join Rush Silva, the host of Old Tales of the Chapparal, an upcoming podcast by Darkthought Studios, that dives into the forgotten history, local legends, and unsettling paranormal encounters hidden right in the canyons and deserts north of Los Angeles.

Season 1 coming Summer 2026 on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.
